12 Walton Street is correct, William was at that address in 1877.  In 1868 Thomas was at 46 Ewart's Row and William was at number 6.

Antrim / Cannot read handwriting on Belfast death entry
« on: Thursday 14 August 25 11:41 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to read the two street names on this death entry for Thomas Wilkinson, ?? Oct 1870
1) Date and Place of Death
2) Signature, Qualification and Residence of Informant

because of the bad quality of the printout, I can't decipher (1); There doesn't appear to be a Walting Street in Belfast in 1870 (2).

Does anyone with local knowledge have any clues please?

Any chance that you can just copy the death certificate at the usual size please ie don't try to enlarge it. 

It is badly pixelated but I can read the undertaker's address as being 1724 Sacramento Bvld

Cannot read the person's name, has this been cut off? Could you pl supply this as it will make being able to help you easier.

Is it Carl Kalms?


Yes, it is Carl Kalms. I attach the entire certificate as requested. We are trying to find out the place of burial please

Help please

I'm trying to decipher the place of burial written on this San Francisco death certificate from 1931, the typing and the handwriting appear to be 2 different things.
Maybe someone with some local knowledge may know better?

thank you

There are some other Martin marriages at Ugborough around the time (not sure that any were witnessed by Joan/Jenny or her husband)

One is Peggy Martin to Richard Moysey, 2 Nov 1779 (both signed)

Possibly Margaret Moysey buried in Ugborough in 1811, age 52
thankyou for your suggestions, but i don't think this is her.

First daughter being Rebecca is usually named for the maternal grandmother.
Thank you for the information. I’m aware that naming patterns were often followed in families of that era. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any women named Joan, Jane, or Joanna born in the area who had a mother named Rebecca.

Just to clarify—did you mean that the first daughter, Rebecca, would likely have been named after her maternal grandmother (i.e. Joan Martin’s mother), rather than Joan’s grandmother?

If you take into account regional accents and how they might have been heard.

Jane Mardon bap. 26 December 1754 at Stokeinteignhead daughter of Samuel and Jane

They also had Anne 1746 bap 5 November and Samuel bap 3 November 1751

Thank you for that helpful hint. I did come across that baptism in Findmypast’s index. I’m still a little uncertain about it, as Stokeinteignhead feels quite a distance from Ugborough—especially considering travel and community ties in those days.

That said, I’m not ruling it out, especially if there’s a compelling reason she might have moved or married further afield. I’ll definitely keep this family in mind as I continue piecing things together.

Thanks again—every clue helps!
